As a star burns its nuclear fuel, its radius R and its luminosity L are modified. Its mass may as well be affected if the mass loss rate has a time scale comparable to the nuclear time scale; this is likely to occur for stars of very high luminosity. Currently, the change in radius R and luminosity L of an evolving star is described in the socalled theoretical Herzsprung-Russel diagramme with in abscissa the logarithm of the effective temperature defined by:
